Love the way how matt is so humble, "I won by 6 or 7 seconds, this bike is incredible" never mentioned he won because he is a bad ass rider, put all the glory on the bike not himself
I’m 5’10” had a 29er hard tail and it felt way too big for me. So I got a SQ3 27.5 and loving the smaller wheel size (and the bike). Kinda cool you can get a SQ in both sizes now 🤙
I rode BMX for a decade. Decided to jump into MTB and wanted to keep it under $1000 to make sure I loved it before splurging on something I'd regret. Ended up with a 2021 Marin San Quentin (guy bought a size too small and only had like 30 miles on it.) It's an excellent bike. I say that both as a beginner mountain biker, but also as someone who was hitting doubles and diamond trails since basically the first few hours. So I kind of am both a beginner and experienced rider at once in different aspects lol. But seriously the San Quentin rips. I've had mine for a year now and I still don't really feel pressured into getting a full suspension. I put on some quality pedals, grips, added a dropper post and converted to tubeless. It's an excellent bike that punches well above it's price tag. FYI, I also live in the PNW so these aren't small, tame trails. This thing can handle nearly anything you throw at it. Though your body will feel it on the rough stuff a lot more than a full suspension. But that's the same for any hardtail. You will absolutely learn a ton pushing a bike like this to it's limits though 🤘
Wait holdup. Since when does Matt have a girlfriend and more importantly since when does he have a son.😮 I must have misted a few chapters without missing a single video. 😂 congrats on being a dad Matt. 🎉
A little disappointed, I was expecting a backflip for sure. We all know for sure Pilgs would have flipped and probably a tnh to boot. Of course he IS a complete lunatic. 😂
Who wants to see a video about a hardtail with 29 inch wheels? Not i says the fly. I'd like to see a video from the plyground with a legit pro skater and/or bmx in on the session
#MattJones you need to get a Hyundai 87cc petrol plate compactor/wacker plate with wheel kit and paving pad HYCP5030 from B and Q for £429.99 to pack in the mud it will speed up the process by 3x and if you do get it and use it i would like a shout out for the idea.
I grew up riding...hard (giggerty). Hard in hard F&R. Also with 18 gears, and cable pull caliper rim brakes Yous lot dont know you're born! The Marin bikes back then though were orgasmic to look at in comparison to anything else 😊
Only spent a couple minutes on a proper hardtail as an adult (had one as a kid) and i was only nosediving on bunnyhops, so bad that i was kinda glad i went straight to a 180mm fully, coming from a bmx bike. Felt right at home pretty quick! I'm always more prone to nosediving jumps as opposed to looping out, even on my fully.. could that be related? 🤔
Hi Matt can you please make a compound clean up series? Like clearing all the grass away rebuilding the smaller dirt jumps you also have at you compound.
that right, you did race that bike at Seaotter. I was one of the guys who met both you and ben by the Marin tent. I was wearing, as you put it Matt, an OG Helfare shirt. Wondering if we will possibly see a Helfare booth at next years Sea Otter???
Thanks to your strong recommendations, Matt. I bought a marin bike. I did buy a cross bike because I mostly ride it to the pub 😂 but honestly, I'm stoked with how nice it is. I got the Muirwoods 29er
Anxiety watching cove aggressively swing the big spanner 🤕 he is a G he tapped him self on the eye brow and didn’t give a shit… I’m too soft with kids 🤣
Aww never knew that Matt is a father, it's sweet of Marin to send him a new bike, time to watch Matt goes Halo, & Ohlins in matter of minutes. Never ridden a 29 inch bike
Waited until the bonus clip to see if anyone was going to address little Cove homie almost knocking himself out with that ratchet wrench 😂❤ Can’t wait to see him shred!
My favourite bike was a GT Peace 9'r single speed. I am of the opinion it forced me to ride better than on any other bike I've had since. The big wheels. Not worrying about gears. No suspension at all or a dropper post just meant you only ever worried about what was in front of you on the trail. And even as a "geezer" now, I kind of still hark back to that bike.
yea matt love it. the cove intoro was awsom saw that photo on your instagram looked sick id love to ride wouburn or even your compoud as ive started to realy love that big jump feeling. love the vids legend!!!!
Anyone else fully flinch / jumped when he "bashed Cove" out the way!!?! 😱😂
my heart dropped 😂
I actually jumped in my chair
Hahahaha yesssss 😂 I jumped 😂
OMG wasnt ready for that 😂
I fucking screamed lmao
I see cove has had more tools in his hand this year than matt😂
😂
Dork disc and reflectors had me creasing😂😂😂
Me to🤮💀🗑️
Sooooo, when do we get to see Mat hit the airbag on Coves bike?
Never jumped so much when you "hit cove" with the bike box, 😂😂 fair play Ben 😅😂
The main attribute is the dork disc... everyone needs a bit of dork in their lives.🤣 I ride my 29er hardtail every week and love every minute of it.
Those are some wide handlebars for a baby😂
Omg scared the shit out of me when you moved the box and knocked your kid away 😅😅
So stoked too see Matt back to weekly uploading.
yeh i was so upset when he hadn't posted in over a month
Too bad he didn't clean the mycological growth off his airbag during that period.
I'm starting to think this was an ad for the all new marin San quentin 29ner
Imagine the clips of Matt riding and saying random words about the bike being the official promo video for Marin
Holyy talk about jump scare, thanks for that 🤣
after a couple of weeks I loved my 29er hardtail its just getting used to the feel and what it does good/bad when going up from 27.5s
Why do hardtails nowadays have really thin bars on the rear triangle? They don't look strong enough
Love the way how matt is so humble, "I won by 6 or 7 seconds, this bike is incredible" never mentioned he won because he is a bad ass rider, put all the glory on the bike not himself
I jumped up to 29 on my HT a year ago. Being a 6'4" giant, I instantly felt proper. Dont think I'd ever go back.
I second this comment also as a 6'4" giant. Our bikes are finally to proper scale, doesn't look like we stole a 10yr olds bike.
I’m 5’10” had a 29er hard tail and it felt way too big for me. So I got a SQ3 27.5 and loving the smaller wheel size (and the bike). Kinda cool you can get a SQ in both sizes now 🤙
But does it fakie Matt? 'Cause we know that's the most important thing.
Matt's lil man is really early out preparing himself for hard pedal impacts on his legs with the tools 😂

Now let's see some bmxs on the dirt jumps 😁
when the kid got punted by the box
Welcome back u legend u have been missed ❤❤❤❤❤😊🎉
Matt, how well does the 29 hard tail fakie ?
That's what we all really want to know
Will there be a frame only option?
What size did you cut the handlebars down to? Just recently purchased a ht 29er and the bars are massive.
I’m curious as well
Wait holdup. Since when does Matt have a girlfriend and more importantly since when does he have a son.😮 I must have misted a few chapters without missing a single video. 😂 congrats on being a dad Matt. 🎉
I’ll be the dork disc button
If I rode faster trails I'd reconsider but I love the quick precise steering of 27.5.
But can it fakie?
They fucked sizing. XL is 5"11' to 6"2'. Come on. That's too small.
Either a reach of 500mm no one 5'11" is riding that bike. The frame is plenty large enough for up to 6'3".
@@franklee6301 it's 64degree head so it will feel tight. I hope you're right tho 😉 it's a great bike. I'm 6"2' and I'd leave one
The one thing keeping me from a Quentin was the lack of 29s but now it looks like I know what my next bike will be!
bigger wheels carry speed longer but more effort to accelerate 👍
Don’t let die the 27,5!!!
"They teach you everything" except how not to case EVERYTHING...... lmao
A little disappointed, I was expecting a backflip for sure. We all know for sure Pilgs would have flipped and probably a tnh to boot. Of course he IS a complete lunatic. 😂
Stoked to finally see my artwork in the workshop! Glad you like it! 🤙🏻
This is probably my least favourite kind of Matt Jones video.
Oh my god, that "kick the baby" animation gave me a freaking heart attack!
Who wants to see a video about a hardtail with 29 inch wheels? Not i says the fly. I'd like to see a video from the plyground with a legit pro skater and/or bmx in on the session
matt watching you guys all the time really motivates me to one day own a marin bike keep it going
I was literally typing, "He cut the bars but left the dork disc and reflectors?" as Matt ripped them off.
THE EDITTING AT 1:27 OMFGG
Sick video and bike! When are you riding mini bikes again?
the dork disk also definitely makes you faster as well
Another bike he'll ride once and be collecting dust. Give it to another young lad up the local.🫡
Goodyear will not be happy with your Maxxis tires. Personally I love the Assegai
Can’t find that camo jacket on your website? 😢
Had to pause and comment. Speed phrase hardtail needs more outings.
#MattJones you need to get a Hyundai 87cc petrol plate compactor/wacker plate with wheel kit and paving pad HYCP5030 from B and Q for £429.99 to pack in the mud it will speed up the process by 3x and if you do get it and use it i would like a shout out for the idea.
hahaahahah "ooooh the hardtail.. hardtaillll... 29er san quintin..." hahaha fuck that cracked me up
Serious question: when can i buy that helfare camo hoody????
I love monster trucking but fat bikes are so dorky.
29er ftw
Awesome handsome baby matt I'm proud of you and thanks for new video 😊
Hii😊
I love my hardtail, I race against the full suspension guys on my hardtail 29” Nukeproof Scout.
Your kid is sick! Lovin' dem tools
Needs a bit of cable management around the handlebars. It looks a right mess.
So goooood!
Did you get a smaller frame to work with 29er
shutup about the hardtail that balance bike was the sickest thing i have ever seen, marin release it i will buy one
No knobblies on the pump track. The massive sign is a clue😴
Take the noddy disc off the back wheel 😂😂
Is there a Matt channel I’m not aware of? How come we are not getting any of these down hill races or events?
I was more concerned about the kickstand that I was the reflectors
I thought this was about jumps and wheels. Not about the sell of a new bike!
With that bike your lawyer could take vacations, not even one case.
Omg i thought for a second you actually yeeted Cove😂.
But the question everybody wants to know. Can I fakie
Yeahh mattt.lmuch love from Africa
I grew up riding...hard (giggerty).
Hard in hard F&R.
Also with 18 gears, and cable pull caliper rim brakes
Yous lot dont know you're born!
The Marin bikes back then though were orgasmic to look at in comparison to anything else
😊
Love the bike but it sort or dones not fit you because of the style of it.🎉🎉🎉
I'm glad to see you using the workshop! I'd almost forgotten about it after you'd built it.
You just sent some Helfare Rival "Trousers" to Sweden for my wife. She loves them!
And yes @liamginty I did flinch. More than a little as well.
Only spent a couple minutes on a proper hardtail as an adult (had one as a kid) and i was only nosediving on bunnyhops, so bad that i was kinda glad i went straight to a 180mm fully, coming from a bmx bike. Felt right at home pretty quick!

Matt Jones, you sound even smoother on the hard-tail than on a full-sus
Bentley....(in an attractive blonde's voice)

I built a pumptrack for my son in my garden. It is like your Hellfarm just a tiny version of it.
You gonna love riding with the little pooper.
Have you ever demoed an el Roy
I have a 29 inch hardtail as my first proper mountain bike. Haven’t used it on anything besides jumps 😅 and I’m not great at those 😅
Anxiety watching cove aggressively swing the big spanner 🤕 he is a G he tapped him self on the eye brow and didn’t give a shit… I’m too soft with kids 🤣
Never heard Marin pronounced like that before!
You should have done a little ASMR skit like that viral Bentley one and whispered "Hardtail..."
Aww never knew that Matt is a father, it's sweet of Marin to send him a new bike, time to watch Matt goes Halo, & Ohlins in matter of minutes. Never ridden a 29 inch bike
Waited until the bonus clip to see if anyone was going to address little Cove homie almost knocking himself out with that ratchet wrench 😂❤ Can’t wait to see him shred!
U wer right. We wer all questioning the reflectors
maybe next you should try clipless pedals 😁
cant be using big knobby tyres on the pumptrack matt

Handsome looking kiddo you got there. Thank god he looks like his mama =) keep up the fun boys!!!
Love Cove's exit😂. And watching you ride a hardtail Matt. With no music. 😍
Imagine of they did this In an "E" verson 😮
Will your sponsor parts come on the bike?
Incredible first run there 😂😂 just to clarify it’s a san Quentin hard tail 29er
Baby is looking so much like Matt already. That outro smile is 100% a Jones!
Put a tarp over the air bag! been saying this for years.
I wish you said “hard tail” and “29er” on every single ride clip 😂😂
